ABSTRACT This thesis examines the relationship between violence and urbanity. Using Karachi, Pakistan, as a case study, it asks how violent cities are imagined and experienced by their residents. The thesis draws on a variety of theoretical and epistemological frameworks from urban studies to analyze the social and historical processes of urbanization that have led to the perception of Karachi as a city of violence. It then uses the distinction that Michel de Certeau draws between strategy and tactic in his seminal work The Practice of Everyday Life to analyze how Karachiites inhabit, imagine, and invent their city in the midst of – and in spite of – ongoing urban violence.

The four names of great men from Sindh that he gave, included three former students of Sindh Madressah. Today, in 21st century, it gives pleasure that Sindh Madressah has kept alive that tradition of producing great men to serve the humanity.

  • Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts
    Honour Killing in Sindh Men's and Women's Divergent Accounts Shahnaz Begum Laghari PhD University of York Women’s Studies March 2016 Abstract The aim of this project is to investigate the phenomenon of honour-related violence, the most extreme form of which is honour killing. The research was conducted in Sindh (one of the four provinces of Pakistan). The main research question is, ‘Are these killings for honour?’ This study was inspired by a need to investigate whether the practice of honour killing in Sindh is still guided by the norm of honour or whether other elements have come to the fore. It is comprised of the experiences of those involved in honour killings through informal, semi- structured, open-ended, in-depth interviews, conducted under the framework of the qualitative method. The aim of my thesis is to apply a feminist perspective in interpreting the data to explore the tradition of honour killing and to let the versions of the affected people be heard. In my research, the women who are accused as karis, having very little redress, are uncertain about their lives; they speak and reveal the motives behind the allegations and killings in the name of honour. The male killers, whom I met inside and outside the jails, justify their act of killing in the name of honour, culture, tradition and religion. Drawing upon interviews with thirteen women and thirteen men, I explore and interpret the data to reveal their childhood, educational, financial and social conditions and the impacts of these on their lives, thoughts and actions.

This study was aimed to measure the water quality of eight different creeks around Port Qasim. Samples were collected and analyzed using standard procedures during February and March, 2009. The parameters including pH, Conductivity, Total Dissolved Solids, Salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, Nitrate, Phosphate, Sulphate, Chloride, Calcium, Potassium, Zinc, Iron, Cobalt, Chromium, Manganese and Cadmium were determined. The result shows that Bakran creek and Gharo-Phitti creeks are heavily polluted compared to other creeks. This study recommends that wastes from the industries or sewerage should be treated before being discharge into the creek system. Key words: Creeks, Port Qasim, nutrients, Gharo-Phitti, Bakran INTRODUCTION Pollution of water bodies is a major concern in the developing nations. According to various workers (Fakayode, 2005; Emongor et al., 2005; Furtado et al., 1998; Ugochukwu, 2004; Altman and Parizek, 1995) anthropogenic activities i.e.

A necessidade do estabelecimento de museus existe desde a criaçâo da Universidade de Karachi (Paquistâo), em 1951. Após a indispensâvel reuniâo das condiçôes financeiras e das respectivas colecçôes, foram criados diversos museus destinados ao ensino. Presentemente, os museus dos departamentos de Botànica, Geologia, História Geral (Arqueologia), Sociologia (Etnologia) e Zoologia encontram-se adormecidos. As razôes sâo de diversa ordem e vâo desde a falta de recursos, à necessidade de modernizaçâo, à negligência administrativa e à falta de urna estratégia clara para atrair estudantes. Este artigo descreve e explica a actual situaçâo deplorâvel dos museus departamentais da Universidade de Karachi e esboça algumas ideias para o seu futuro. Abstract Museums are centres of learning. They play a significant role in the projection of cultural and natural heritage and can increase awareness among the masses. When it was established in 1951, academics in several departments at the University of Karachi felt the need for a Museum. Funds were raised and material was collected to set up educational museums for the instruction of students. At present the museums of the Botany, Geology, Geography, General History, Sociology, and Zoology Departments are well-nigh dormant. There are several reasons for this, such as organizational and administrative neglect, lack of funds, lack of upgrading, and lack of an adequate programme to attract students. The aim of this paper is to clarify the causes of this deplorable situation and to develop ideas for future improvement.
